Welcome to LTR! Our ministry, Learning to Run, focuses on rebuilding Christian men and families from the inside-out. This serves as an online space dedicated to faith, spiritual encouragement, and counselling topics from God’s Word. It’s not as hopeless as it feels! Suicide, bitterness, lust, and fear are common themes that have a common Answer in Jesus Christ.
Think spiritual physiotherapy…. If YOU are suffering the devastation of addiction, betrayal, or marital infidelity, you have come to the right place. We are dedicated to helping individuals and couples heal from trauma. This is a safe space where individuals can be heard without feeling judged or marginalized. To break free from sin, adultery, depression, and anxiety, the Bible provides hope for everyone.
Now, the simple reality is that we live in a digital world. People are more likely to talk to a stranger than their own pastor. They post at midnight and 4:00am, and in any language of the world through anonymous platforms. They post confessions of their deepest sins, and beg for forgiveness and understanding for their tortured souls. Almost 10,000 people have viewed my writings, and hundreds have engaged with me over them. Some connect and engage directly, while others ponder for weeks before asking for prayer as they go speak to somebody else in real life.
Here, this is my personal journal, and a place where like-minded people can find strength, encouragement and company as they run their spiritual race. This all started in the aftermath of my own personal carnage. I needed a place to express the pain of my soul, and writing was easiest for me. I have spent the last five years recovering my soul, my sanity, and my smile. This is my attempt to share what God has shown me. Let me encourage you: There is HOPE! Our ministry is based upon Psalm 119:32, where scripture reads: “I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.”
Run well!
